Gee.B Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hey this is just another stupid poll but i'd like to know if you guys confirm what i personally think. Also i'm interested in knowing how a big, an average or a small surfer use a portal. I'm actually doing this poll for a my master project on the Influence of the New Medias. I personnally use Yahoo! a lot , some are attracted to MSN and its browser, the other hate the all clustered portals....What about you??? (Of course , if yours is not listed please mention it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splatnix Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 As I have Google, RSS feeds, and CNN Text - I rarely touch upon portals. I will use Yahoo front-page portal and the my.yahoo.com customized portals on occasion - as such, I gave my vote to Yahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotix Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 None of them. Closest type I regularly access is GOOGLE. I guess I'm a "big surfer" and really net savvy. If you need a definite response, I'd choose Yahoo!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee.B Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 mmm well i said portal cause the medias often speak about "the portal war" like AOL 8 VS MSN 8 etc.... Also i use Yahoo for the news....MSNBC is clustered with ads and so confusing...., Mail, and My Yahoo! I usa Google for researches but i dont mind using Yahoo Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus ^i^ Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Portals were only useful when internet was new and people had no idea where to go, IMHO :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee.B Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 ok well thank you for these opinions As from what i have seen , i understand that: New surfers would place Yahoo first and then MSN Advanced surfers will not visit any specific portal pages but rather search through Google (exept for mail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semifamous Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 See, I don't use any portals anymore. I don't even have to pull up the google.com home page because I've got a Search box built into Firebird (and the Google Toolbar in IE.) So when Firebird starts up, I have it set up to remember where I left off before, instead of having a pointless "home page" that I don't use. And I always have neowin.net open in one of the tabs, with AutoReload set for every 10 or 15 minutes or something. (I love TBE...) =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 No need for portals myself, so (Null Vote) ;) As said above, but with MyIE2, a simple search in the address bar (and with an alpha version of MyIE2 with...) takes me straight to google.
